Fast radio bursts, magnetars and earthquakes: their "family feud"?
Si-Lu Xu, Yong-Kun Zhang, Pei Wang +24
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration cosmic transients whose origin remains elusive. Competing models invoke either earthquake-like processes or flare-like mechanisms.…
FAST Polarization Catalog of FRB 20240114A
Tian-Cong Wang, Jun-Shuo Zhang, Xiao-Hui Liu +60
Polarization measurements of fast radio bursts (FRBs) probe the magnetized plasma surrounding their central engines. FRB~20240114A is an exceptionally active repeating source, with…
Detection of afterglow emission up to 100 GeV through a stacking analysis of gamma-ray bursts
Shi Chen, Qiang Yuan, Yi-Qing Guo +3
High-energy gamma-ray (>GeV) emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is very important in probing the jet evolution and particle acceleration of GRBs. The observations of high-energy p…
GRB 240715A: Revealing Novel Intrinsic Mechanism by Different Individual Pulse
Wen-Jun Tan, Chen-Wei Wang, Shao-Lin Xiong +37
The Space-based multiband astronomical Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM), detected its first short gamma-ray burst, GRB 240715A, in-flight, which was jointly observed by Fermi. Based…
EP240801a/XRF 240801B: An X-ray Flash Detected by the Einstein Probe and Implications of its Multiband Afterglow
Shuai-Qing Jiang, Dong Xu, Agnes P. C. van Hoof +89
We present multiband observations and analysis of EP240801a, a low-energy, extremely soft gamma-ray burst (GRB) discovered on August 1, 2024 by the Einstein Probe (EP) satellite, w…
